Reporting Student Absence Procedure - NEW SEPT 2024

Students no longer need to submit a paper note to the Main Office to report absences and phone calls are no longer required.

To have your child’s absence excused (whether for a timeframe known in advance or after the student has returned to school):

Email gladstone@vsb.bc.ca with the following information: 
 1.  First, last name and grade of student 
 2.  Dates missed 
 3.  Periods missed
 4.  Reason for absence(s)

The email will only be considered valid and therefore, processed, if it is received from a parent/guardian email on file.

The attendance record in MyEd will be adjusted to indicate that the home has excused the absence. Students/Parents/Guardians are encouraged to contact their teachers directly in order to ensure students have the necessary work to not fall behind with their progress.
